> Currently seed in NetworkTopology#sortByDistance is set to the blockid which
> causes the RNG to generate same pseudo random order for each block. If no
> node local block location is present,this causes the same rack local replica
> to be hit for a particular block.
> It'll be good to make the seed optional, so that one could turn it off if
> they want block locations of a block to be randomized.
